This is an interesting compromise. I think I'll keep using it, because it makes the recommendations/searches a lot more relaxing to look at. But the downside is making videos seem better than they are, because if the title and thumbnail are bad, the video itself probably is too, and this hides that signal. I haven't been using it all that long and there's already been a couple times when I've really hated a video, then looked at the original title and thumbnail and realised that I wouldn't have clicked on it if I wasn't using DeArrow. It does prevent videos from lying about their contents in the title, so it may well save time overall. There's a deep problem with Youtube that is probably impossible to patch over with a browser extension, and this is still a useful tool.
